Hey dudes,

I posted about this once before but my wife and I are going on a backpacking trip across Asia and possibly Africa, budget permitting. I need to buy a laptop for this. I'll use it mainly for internetting and movies but would love if I could play some of the low-graphic games like Fez or FTL. No expectation on anything high powered like Crysis.

My budget would preferably be under $1000 (I know, tight) and from my research it should be 3 pounds or less to lighten the load in my backpack. I'm eyeing refurbished Macbook Airs but I've never used a mac before and I'm not sure how well they work with Steam games and such.

Thoughts?
